This masterpiece, K-series or another name Oba- Q, epitomizes Japanese post-modernism designed in 1972 by Shiro Kuramata, the Japanese legendary interior designer.

Another name Oba Q was given because the shade shapes like a lovingly popular ghost icon of a Japanese cartoon.
The shade is like a covering of white cloth that casts a bewitching soft glow.

By four Japanese craftsmen, it is made of draping a heated single piece of an acrylic sheet over a pole at same time,
allowing it to hang naturally and harden.

The opalescent acrylate resin of the exquisite smooth skewed surface
generates a gradient glow and radiates with playfulness through the illusion of floating.
Nebulous yet its unforgettable icon grabs your heart.
